If all goes well today (literally at clinic right now), then surgery is early next month. Any help before then will be even more appreciated.
Thank you!

Got confimed for 2 major surgeries this week. I will need funds & soon, but I was fired when I was diagnosed with cancer & my only income now is writing.
I hate to ask because I know we're all struggling, but I'd appreciate any donation.

I've had more than a few unexpected health expenses due to my breast cancer treatment this past year, so things are not so good financially.

Nobody is holding this against her. What she gave is a clarification, not an admission of guilt. Point still stands, she was lied to about being acknowledged for work she did. And Erin’s statement isn’t the only indictment on this person. If anything, it’s the least out of the many.

So the writer who did the "investigation" and spread the utter and deeply harmful untruths about me? One of the first things he suggested in the Discord was a Black man who would have been more appropriate than our Black woman Special Guest.
To the white men who tirelessly promoted Ekpeki and furthered his career - a challenge for you to invest even a tiny bit of this energy into helping the careers of women and/or queer and trans writers, especially Black writers.
Here is my report on my experience with unethical behavior and bad faith dealings of Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki.
